Zaharija 4

1 Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom vrati se tad i probudi me kao čovjeka koji se oda sna budi.

And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.

2 “Što vidiš?” - upita. Ja odgovorih: “Vidim, evo, svijećnjak, sav od zlata, s posudom za ulje vrh njega; i sedam je žižaka na svijećnjaku, sa sedam lijevaka za sedam žižaka što su na njemu.

And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

3 Dvije su masline kraj njega, jedna njemu zdesna, druga slijeva.”

And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.

4 Obratih se anđelu koji je govorio sa mnom i upitah ga: “Što je to, gospodaru?”

And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

5 Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom odgovori mi: “Zar ne znaš što je to?” Ja rekoh: “Ne, gospodaru.”

Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

6 [6a] On mi tad odgovori ovako: [6b]Evo riječi Jahvine Zerubabelu: “Ne silom niti snagom, već duhom mojim!” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.

This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.

7 Što si ti, goro velika? Pred Zreubabelom postaješ ravnica! On će izvući krunišni kamen uz poklike: “Hvala! Hvala za njega!”

Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.

8 Dođe mi potom riječ Jahvina:

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 Zerubabelove su ruke ovaj Dom utemeljile, njegove će ga ruke završiti. I vi ćete znati da me k vama poslao Jahve nad Vojskama.

The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

10 [10a] Jer, tko je prezreo dan skromnih početaka? Radovat će se kad vide olovni visak u ruci Zerubabelovoj. [10b] “Ovih sedam oči su Jahvine što strijeljaju po svoj zemlji.”

For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.

11 Tad progovorih i zapitah ga: “Što su one dvije masline desno i lijevo od svijećnjaka?”

And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?

12 Progovorih opet i upitah ga: “Što su one dvije maslinove grančice koje kroz dvije zlatne cijevi dolijevaju ulje?”

And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?

13 On mi odgovori: “Zar ne znaš što je to?” Odvratih: “Ne, gospodaru!”

And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14 On reče: “To su dva Pomazanika koji stoje pred Gospodarem sve zemlje.”

And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.
